These were the sons of the Levites according to the house of their fathers. 31 These likewise cast lots alongside their brothers the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the chief of the fathers of the priests and Levites, even the principal fathers alongside their younger brothers.
